IZABELLA EFFENBERG (PL) IMPRESSIONS IN COLOURS feat. YUMI ITO

„Hearing Izabellla and her music offers some of the most exiting new sounds I heard in a long time! in addition to her brilliance as a vibraphonist her music offers the beautiful organic new sounds from Array Mbira, Glassharp and Waterphone“

so worth spending time listening.

Bugge Wesseltoft

 

Izabella Effenberg – Vibrafon, Crotales, Array Mbira, Glass Harp, Sundrum, Steeldrum, Marimba, Waterphone | Jochen Pfister – Piano | Anton Mangold – Harp, Flute | Yumi Ito – Vocal | Radek Szarek / Bodek Janke – Tabla, Percussion, Drums

Impressions in Colours ist a new project, awarded in the virtual competition Woman in Jazz Next Generation 2020 (Hale/Saale)

The music connects Jazz, classical music and beyond. Improvisation and arranged parts flow together, always allowing exchange between the musicians and different instruments.

All the compositions come from Izabella and are small miniatures in which she is searching for her own destinctive sound.
The focus is on unusual instruments like vibraphone, glass harp, array mbira, steeldrum, marimba, crotales, hapy, sundrum, carillon,  etc…, as well as sounds like the prepared piano and in combination with voice and harp.
